S. 2508, the Energize Africa Act, sponsored by Sens. Bob Menendez and Bob Corker, was voted out of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations by a voice vote. This legislation would boost U.S. jobs while increasing access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa, and also bolster NRECA International’s efforts in the region. NRECA supports S. 2508 and urges the Senate to pass this legislation.
